Resource Onboarding
===================
**Goal:** Add models and other artifacts required to create, configure,
          instantiate, and manage a VF/PNF and, optionally, a VFC.

**Tool:** SDC

**SDC user role:** Designer

|image0|

**Steps**
    * `Create a License Model [Optional]`_
        * `Create a License Key Group [Optional]`_
        * `Create an Entitlement Pool`_
        * `Create a Feature Group`_

.. _doc_guide_user_des_res-onb_cre-vsp:

Create a Vendor Software Product
--------------------------------

Create one or more Vendor Software Products (VSPs) as the building blocks
for VFs/PNFs.

.. note::
   For interim saving while creating a VSP, click |image2|

**Prerequisites:**

* `Create a License Model [Optional]`_
* VNF HEAT package or VNF/PNF CSAR/Zip package is available.

  See :ref:`sdc_onboarding_package_types` for a description
  of the onboarding package types.
* If the package is a secure package then :ref:`pre-install the corresponding Root Certificate in SDC <doc_guide_user_des_res-onb_pre-install_root_certificate>`.

.. note::
   Example packages can be found in the SDC project: :ref:`SDC Packages<onap-sdc:sdc_onboarding_package_types>`

#. From the SDC HOME page, click *ONBOARD*.

   |image11|

#. In the Workspace select *CREATE NEW VSP*.

   |image21|

#. Complete all fields.
#. Click *Create*.
     The Overview page is shown

   |image22|

#. Click *Internal* in the software product details section.

   .. note::
     Under License Agreement, there is a choice between internal or external license.
     If internal is selected then after redirect to general tab, select licenses details.
     If external is selected then in general tab licenses details are disabled.

#. For the defined Vendor, select a licensing version, a license agreement,
   and one or more feature groups.

   |image23|

#. [Optional] Complete other fields, such as Availability (high-availability
   zones) and Storage Data Replication (requirement for storage replication),
   as required.
#. In the *Overview* section, select *Software Product Attachments*
   (right pane), click *Select file*.
#. In case of a VNF HEAT file: Locate the Heat .zip package and click *Open*.

   In case of a VNF or PNF CSAR file: Locate the VNF or PNF csar/.zip package
   and click *Open*.
#. The file is loaded and the attachments page opens

   |image24|

#. Press the Button *Proceed to Validation*. After successful validation, SDC
   displays the files and a success message. If validation fails, SDC displays
   the errors in the files.

   In case the SDC Helm Validator is enabled in SDC configuration file and the
   onboarding package is a CNF which contains any helm charts listed in MANIFEST.json
   and marked as type=HELM, there will be an attempt to make a request to the Helm Validator
   for each chart, to check its validity. More information on Helm Validator can be found
   :ref:`here<onap-sdc:sdc_helm_validator>`

   This validation feature is enabled by default, and checks, if the chart can be deployed by
   running helm template command. Helm v3 libraries are used for validation.

   Example Heat errors:

   |image9|

   Example helm chart validation warnings:

   |image27|

   Example helm chart validation errors (which caused the *Submit* button to be disabled)

   |image28|

#. Click *Submit* to add the VSP to the catalog.

   After filling a comment, press *Commit&Submit*.
#. A success message is displayed. If the VSP attachments contain errors, an
   error message is displayed instead. Fix the issue(s) and re-submit.
#. To configure VFCs associated with the VSP, see
   `Update VFCs in a VSP [optional]`_, below.


.. _doc_guide_user_des_res-onb_upd-vfc:

Update VFCs in a VSP [optional]
-------------------------------

If required, configure Virtual Function Components (VFCs) associated with a
VSP, such as the Hypervisor, VM recovery details, and cloning. VFCs are listed
on the Components tab.

.. note::
  All fields are optional. Answers to questionnaires are stored as metadata
  only on the SDC platform.

**Prerequisites:** Add one or more VSPs
                   (see `Create a Vendor Software Product`_).

#. From the SDC HOME page, click *ONBOARD* and search for a VSP.
#. Selecting the VSP opens the *Versions* page.

   |image25|

#. Press the + at *Create New Version* on the version to update

   |image26|

#. Fill the fields and press *Create*
#. In Components , click a VFC (VSP component).

   The component links display in the left pane.
#. Click *General* to view and edit general parameters such as hypervisor,
   image format, VM recovery details, and DNS configuration.
#. Click *Compute* to view and edit VM parameters such as the number of VMs
   required for a VFC instance and persistent storage/volume size.
#. Click *High Availability & Load Balancing* to answer questions related
   to VM availability and load balancing.
#. Click *Networks* to view or edit parameters related to network capacity
   and interfaces.

   the *Create New Process Details* dialog box.

   Use Process Details to identify
   the processes and configuration associated with VFCs.
#. Click *Monitoring* to upload MIB or JSON files for SNMP traps and polling.
#. To update the VSP, click *Submit*

   After filling a comment, press *Commit&Submit* and the
   new version is certified.

.. _doc_guide_user_des_res-onb_upd-vsp:

Update a VSP [optional]
-----------------------

Upload a new onboarding package to a VSP. Afterward, update the VF/PNF and service.

**Prerequisites:** Add one or more VSPs
                   (see `Create a Vendor Software Product`_).

    new version is certified.
#. After updating the VSP:

   #. Upload the VSP to the Vf/PNF
      (see steps 3 to 5 in :ref:`doc_guide_user_des_vf-cre`).

.. _doc_guide_user_des_res-onb_pre-install_root_certificate:

Pre-Install Root Certificate in SDC [only needed for secure package]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SDC supports the onboarding of packages that are secured according to security option 2 in ETSI NFV-SOL 004v2.6.1.

During onboarding, SDC will validate the authenticity and integrity of a secure package. To enable this validation,
the root certificate corresponding to the certificate included in the package needs to be available to SDC.
This is currently done by uploading the root certificate to the following default directory location::

   /dockerdata-nfs/{{ .Release.Name }}/sdc/onbaording/cert

.. note::
   The directory listed above is mapped to the following directory in the onboarding pod (sdc-onboarding-be)
   ::

      /var/lib/jetty/cert

   so it is also possible to copy the root certificate directly to this directory in the pod.

The location where the root certificate is uploaded is configurable. The relevant parameters are described in
the *cert* block in the following values file::

   <path_to_oom_kubernetes>/sdc/charts/sdc-onboarding-be/values.yaml
